richyrich Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 How do you put new stanchions on the usd forks , as they have cast ally feet the axle mounts to Quote Link to comment
bluedog59 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Heat the alloy bottom to break the threadlock. Unscrew the small grub screw then unscrew the stanchion from the fork bottom. Easier said than done but that is how you do it. Quote Link to comment
TonyGee Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 USD stanchions can be a rite bitch to remove, the grub screw normally seizes in but if you get that out unscrewing the stanchion is really tight. i did one of my legs a few months ago, will not do it again unless i have all the right gear, much easier getting a shop to do it.

banoffee Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I paid the place I bought my stanchions from to do it last time, a whopping £5 a leg. Wasn't even worth trying to do it myself in my (lazy) opinion. Quote Link to comment
